ASH RECEIVER FOR SMOKERS Michaela. Wrenski, Milwaukee,V Wis. Application July 29, 1932. Serial No. 626,102

The invention relates to ash trays or receivers member or section 12, slightly `less in its transfor the use of smokers, and comprises a portable verse dimensions than the receiver 10, so as to be device which may be placed upon the top surface easily inserted therein and removed therefrom;

of a desk or other support, or it may be inset in The tubular member 12 is open atits'lower end,

The receiver or` reend of the receiver 10, and below the lower end 65 ceptacle is provided with a gate which is in the of the tubular member 12, for storing an accumuform of a at plate pivotally mounted'so as to lation of ashes or debris. stand normally at an angle to the vertical axis A gate 14,111 the ferm of a flat plate, ,having of the receiver or receptacle, in which position it a, width about equal to the distance between two 15 will serve to act as a closure for the bottom 0r oppositewalls of the tubular member, is provided 7`0 storage part'of the receiver or receptacle.

The ving bead or flange 11, which preferably extends mounting of the gate 14 in the receptacle 20, is ,jiu about the four sides of the receiver 10. the same as has been already described in conv 55 Associated with the receiver 10 is a tubular nection with Figs. 1 and V2,` and the operation of 110 ATi- S PATENT ori-ica the gate 14 and the rest 16, vis as before. The mounting of the gate 14 so as to be a part of the receptacle 20, will not interfere with the emptying of the latter, if the gate be swung to an intermediate position, so as to enable the accumulation to pass from the storage chamber,

In either of its closed. positions, the gate 14 practically vexcludes the atmosphere entering the lower,part.of Ithe receiver or receptacle, in consequenceof which burning stubs dumped therein, will soon be extinguished. f l

Having thus described Vmy invention, what I so i les

claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

A`A11 ash receiver open at its upper end and provided with a pivoted gate normally ystanding in diagonalv relation to the vertical axis of the receiver, the said gate being adapted to swing from one side to the other to close the receiver in either extreme position of the gate, and an angular restsupponted on the upperv edge vofthegate and furnishing va support for a cigar or cigarette in either position of the gate.Y 'g
